An Edwardian oak cased penny arcade Steroescope with a lady undressing show, 184 x 46 x 46 cm.
From the dawn of visual entertainment, and once a common sight in the penny-arcades and Nickelodeons of the 1890s to the 1930s. The cabinet with mechanical override crank and electrified internals powers a timed 'flip book' style show of a young female. A penny operates the weighted mechanism, and an electric light provides for viewing the 3-D, stereoscopic show.
